Top Component Descriptions
The following describes the components of the Notebook PC as viewed from the top as shown by
the illustration on the previous page.
Display Panel
The display panel functions the same as a desktop monitor. It uses either a 12.1” or a 13.3” active
matrix TFT LCD, which provides excellent viewing like that of desktop monitors. Unlike desktop
monitors, the LCD panel does not produce any radiation or flickering, so it is easier on the eyes.
Power Button
The power button allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC. The momentary push button
switch requires about one second to turn ON the power and about two seconds to turn OFF the
power.
Stereo Speakers
The two built-in speakers allow you to hear stereo audio without additional attachments. Two speaker
ducts per side provides better bass versus treble response.
Microphone
The built-in microphone provides a source for inputting mono audio for general note taking, voice-
mail recording, or for use with Internet phone.
Status LEDs
The Notebook PC has status LEDs to display battery charging, storage device access, capital lock,
and number lock statuses.
Keyboard
The keyboard provides full-sized 19mm keys with 2.5mm travel and palm rest. Two Windows™
function keys are provided to help ease navigation.
Touchpad and Buttons
The touchpad with its two buttons is a pointing device that provides the same functions as a desktop
mouse. A scrolling function for Web browsing or Microsoft Office navigation is available using the
third-party software on the support CD.
